EDUCATIONAL FILM CATALOG WOOD, LESLIE. Romance of the movies. 343p il $4.50 '37 Ryerson press [15s Heinemann] "Well-documented and colorfully written. Mr. Wood, an Englishman writing for English readers, gives an important place to the British film industry in general movie history, but his account of the American film-makers is as com- plete as it must be in a book that aims at- comprehensiveness. He has done aji enlighten- ing job." Theatre arts monthly "Mr. Wood, in the early part of his book, explains why it was that the 'peculiar sounds' with which every one is now familiar re- mained so long unuttered; and his story of this period in the development of films is rich in anecdote and incident. . . Mr. Wood makes . . . forgotten triumphs part of his romance; and since he writes the account in non-tech- nical language, these chapters form a swift and vivid story of a period the details of which are apt to be forgotten because the accumu- lated result is so imposing. . . . Mr. Wood has collected a quantity of information, he is never dull, and he is conspicuously not a propa- gandist. He deals with the cinema as it is and not as he would like it to be. He has selected his facts to prove nothing but what his title implies, that the story of the films is a romance, and this he does prove." Times (London) literary supplement XIV
